I'm happy to say that my proposal for a project with the Robotics Collaborative Technology Alliance (RCTA) 2017 was selected for funding.
Grant title: Appropriate calibrations of trust for supporting soldier-robot teaming, PI: Elizabeth Phillips, Brown University, Funded by General Dynamics Land Systems, $50,000
Overview after the break
On March 8th I was honored to participate in Brown University's Feminist Leadership and Mentorship for Equality (FLAME) Conference. The FLAME Conference aims to engage local high school students, undergraduate mentors, and faculty lecturers in conversations and activities that promote intersectional feminist thought.
Last week I participated in a panel for the HCRI's second annual Societal Implications of Robots Symposium (SIRoS) by giving a presentation on the importance of robotic design in future human-robot interactions. Presentations will soon be posted on Brown University's YouTube account. I'll make sure to include that soon.
This post is coming a bit late, but a few months back some colleagues and I submitted a journal article manuscript to the ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS) special issue on Trust and Influence in Intelligent Human-Machine Interaction. We're really excited about this piece and hope to hear back about it soon.

Good news! RSS Workshop proposal was accepted! I recently participated in co-organizing the Women in Robotics Workshop for the Robotics Science and Systems (RSS) 2017 conference.
Recently, I was really fortunate to lend my expertise in experimental design and HRI studies with human users, to collaborate on a paper with researchers in Brown's Computer Science Department, the Humans 2 Robots Lab on a paper for the 2017 IROS conference.

Before the vacation was a made dash to finish a number of conference submissions, including two for HFES 2017. Hoping these will get in so that I can see my Human Factors Colleagues in Austin in October.
Submitted paper titles:
What does a robot look like?: A multi-site examination of user expectations about robot form
Robot Self-Assessment and Expression: A Framework
